Hadith #169
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لَهُ بِسَلْعٍ فَعَرَضَ لِشَاةٍ مِنْهَا فَخَافَتْ عَلَيْهَا فَأَخَذَتْ لِخَافَةً مِنْ حَجَرٍ فَذَبَحَتْهَا بِهَا فَسَأَلُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَكْلِهَا
English Translation
It was narrated — via Yazid ibn Harun, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Nafi' — that he said: 'I heard a man from the Ansar of Banu Salima relating to 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar in the mosque that a maidservant of Ka'b ibn Malik was shepherding his sheep at Sal'. Something befell one of the sheep [threatening it with death], and she feared for it — so she took a sharp stone and slaughtered it with it. They asked the Prophet ﷺ about this, and he commanded them to eat it.'
